How to disable Java Login in Internet Explorer

Jesse,

It seems that the double authentication would not occur in the same Windows session. If I logged out and back in the Windows or restart the computer, the Applet authentication reappears in the first HTML client page with Applet. Is this still a limitation for new Windows session?

Once you select the Java Plug-In's checkbox (in its dialog on the initial double authentication), then the double-authentication should no longer occur.

Of course if anything removes %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\security\auth.dat (or the Windows 7 equivalent of this location), then, yes, you'll have to reauthenticate -- as this is the file that retains the login information so as to prevent reauthentication.

RE: How to disable Java Login in Internet Explorer

This has been a real issue for us so we're delighted it has finally been addressed...but we're not sure how it works. You still have to check the 'Remember password..' box but now it really does remember it. Our concern is that the login credentials (in our case windows login credentials) are being stored in that auth.dat. However, when the user changes their windows password it still seems to work ok. So, is that file actually storing the userid/password or is it somehow forcing the current credentials to be passed through?
